Thanks! Keep your eye on their website. They come out with new models fairly regularly. Or you might email them and ask if there are plans for one. They’re responsive to emails. I just ordered Lum-Tec #4 today… one of the Vortex models.

I own 6 24 hour watches and have always been intrigued with the Lum-Tec line. I wish they (still?) made a mechanical 24h, then I’d jump at it.

(BTW, the time in the photo you ref is 11:05 PM, not AM)

It’s my fifth 24hr watch and the only with ’12’ at the top. My only real complaint was the fairly uncommon odd numbered hours as my other watches spell out the evens and I find that more natural. I was excited for the B49 but was disappointed that it didn’t have a date complication. For “Swedish insomniacs, submariners and coders in windowless basements . . . ” of which I’m a submariner, a date complication remains quite appreciated. I passed on it but I have dreams of getting one, hoping there’s room for a date wheel, and that I can find some way of creating an opening in the dial because other than being dateless, the watch is perfect.

I went with what spell check said, which means little. That is a conundrum. Do you get a high noon or should the start of the new day be at the top?

So, with some 24-HR watches, the 1200 marker is at the bottom. With some, it’s at the top (with the 00 at the bottom). That’s a whole other level of minutiae that the 24-HR watch aficionados will debate.

Mega-dittos! Or is it “dittoes?”
